SYNOPSIS
Marco, an ordinary man in his early 40’s, Zoe, a 25 year old bold young girl, and Laura, an icy and elegant bourgeois middle aged lady, are trapped in a labyrinth of fragility and inner torment. Despite having reached a breaking point, they desperately try to hide their emotional turmoil, adopting toxic strategies and self-harming behaviors to survive their daily routine. Confronting their inner demons won’t mean a permanent solution to their suffering. Rather than exploding they implode and end up sharing the peak of their crisis with someone unrelated to their personal drama who will offer the necessary comfort.
